EVENT DETAILS

The Hester Street Fair is excited to bring the best vintage to the Lower East Side alongside Housing Works!

The Hester Street Fair is excited to bring the best vintage to the Lower East Side and Seward Park Community. Our official co-hosts, Housing Works Thrift Shop, will set up a lounge with a curated selection of vintage clothing, accessories, comics, books, and records. We’ve also gathered some of our favorite local vintage dealers in the area. Stop by for rare finds, great food, good company, and a chance to learn how you can get involved with Housing Work’s efforts to prevent homelessness, improve employment opportunities, and provide critical healthcare to underserved New Yorkers.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Housing Works has become the indisputable champion of New York City’s vintage scene. The largely volunteer run shops and cafe use the profits from their impeccable curations to fund a healing community of social services and advocacy efforts that have served tens of thousands of New Yorkers in need. So there’s no need to feel bad about buying yet another romper… you need a summer uniform and supporting your community at the same time is an even better look. Check out the Housing Works website to find out more about getting involved.

We’re having a clothing swap! You’re invited to bring up to 3 of those pieces that have been trapped in your closet begging to see the light of day for years- we know you can’t let them go to just anyone, so get the satisfaction of seeing them out in the world revived by a new friend. Any leftover clothing will be donated to Housing Works Inc. at the end!

In Common’s Maylis and Elena are the kind of close friends that always end up matching when they meet up. Bringing that dynamic coordination to Hester Street, In Common will donate a portion of profits to local charities working to combat the culture of fast-fashion
